Two blow-molded automotive heater duct parts are quickly and efficiently assembled with an HA infrared welding machine. Parts are held vertically in opposing nests that are indexed toward the center of the machine where the heater platen is positioned. The areas to be welded are heated, then the heater platen retracts (90° to the nests) and the parts are pressed together for a predetermined time period to achieve the correct bond.
 
How Infrared Welding Works
A controlled infrared light emitter welds injection molded or blow-molded assemblies, with accurately regulated parameters including time, temperature and tool positioning. Single or multiple-station machine are available.
